Volume 2 Plane Battles Chapter 170 Nai He Bridge Ghost Story

When everyone was listening to the heart's content, they suddenly felt that the clouds and mist were entwined on the river, and a stone bridge faintly appeared in the sky.

The water ghost kappa hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the "Nai He Bridge" has arrived! The stone bridge above is the Nai He Bridge of the "Eternal Night Underworld" in the "Netherworld". Since the place where we are now located is the Eternal Night Underworld, this "Bad Water River" is no longer called the Evil Water River!

"Lethe River"? I'll just say, I've heard of this river before. On the contrary, the "Bad Water River" has never been heard .....! Murong Feixue muttered.

The water ghost kappa explained: The immortals do not know that this river on the side of the "dark hell" is called the "river of evil water". When you reach the "Eternal Night Underworld", it is called "Lethe River"! Because the name of the Lethe River is more resounding, the name of the Bad Water River is gradually forgotten.....

Murong Feixue said: Oh, so that's the case! If you don't explain this situation, you really don't know that there is such a secret in it.

The water ghost kappa then said: It is understandable that the immortals do not know, and most people do not know the reason for this! In the legend, after a person dies, he has to pass through the Ghost Gate, pass through the Huangquan Road, and between the Huangquan Road and the Hades, the Lechuan River is divided.

The water of the Lechuan River is blood-yellow, and it is full of lonely souls and wild ghosts that cannot be reincarnated, full of insects and snakes, and the fishy wind blows in the face. There is a Nai He Bridge on the Lechuan River, and there is an old woman sitting next to the bridge, her name is Meng Po, if you want to cross the Lechuan River, you must cross the Nai He Bridge, if you want to cross the Nai He Bridge, you must drink Meng Po soup, if you don't drink Meng Po soup, you will cross the Nai He Bridge, you will not be reincarnated if you cross the Nai He Bridge!

"Ghosts" and "undead" must all report to the "Dark Hell"! while "ghosts" have to go to the "Eternal Night Underworld" to register, or reincarnate, or live in the underworld for a long time.

Earlier, all the immortals also understood the situation on the other side of the Dark Hell! Therefore, since there were no gods guarding there, under normal circumstances, all ghosts, undead, ghosts, and spirits had to enter through the "main gate" on this side. In the end, the final place will be allocated according to the sins of life!

It is said that in order to see the favorite in this life in the next life, ghosts can not drink Meng Po soup, then they must jump into this Lechuan River and wait for thousands of years before they can be reincarnated. In the millennium, you may see the person you love most in this life walking on the bridge, but words cannot be communicated, you can see her, she can't see you.

In the past thousand years, you have seen her walk across the Nai He Bridge over and over again, drank bowls and bowls of Meng Po soup, and hoped that she would not drink it, and you were afraid that she would not be able to forget the suffering of thousands of years in the river and the loneliness of waiting!

Drinking Meng Po soup is the old dream of the past, and the cause and effect are broken.

Forget the ups and downs of a lifetime, love and hate in a lifetime, and never know strangers in the next life; Jumping into the Lechuan River, in the dirty waves, he was bitten by copper snakes and iron dogs, and he was tortured and could not be freed.

After a thousand years, if your mind is not extinguished and you can still remember the events of your previous life, you can re-enter the world and find the person you loved most in your previous life!

There are two different theories about this bridge! One is called Nai River Bridge, and the other is called Nai He Bridge. One says that there is a river named Nai River in the prefecture, and the other says that it means "helpless" in Chinese, which just corresponds to the regret and helplessness of people's wishes for their lives when they are reincarnated.....

Therefore, since the Great Lich War, because there are no gods to guard and manage the dark hell! After death, everyone has to cross the bridge of the Nai River, and the good ones have the protection of the gods and Buddhas to cross the bridge smoothly, and the evil ones are beaten into the pool of blood to suffer.

The bridge is divided into three layers, the ghosts of the good can safely pass through the upper bridge, the good and the evil cross the middle bridge, and the ghosts of the wicked cross the lower bridge, and are mostly stopped by the ghosts into the dirty waves under the bridge, and are bitten by copper snakes and iron dogs.

There is an earthen platform called Wangxiang Terrace after crossing the Nai He Bridge, and Meng Po will "give away" Meng Po soup on the side of Wangxiang Terrace. There is a stone by the Lechuan River called Sansheng Stone, Meng Po Tang made them forget everything, and Sansheng Stone recorded their past and present lives. Walk across the Nai He Bridge, take a last look at the world on the Wangxiang Terrace, and drink a cup of boiled water from the Lechuan River.....

This bridge is the boundary, starting a new reincarnation .....!

Bluestone bridge deck, five steps, west of the bridge for women, east of the bridge for men, left yin and right yang. "Whoever dies at the age of ninety-seven will wait three years on the bridge." A thousand years of retrospective, a hundred years of promise. Maybe the relationship between husband and wife in this life began and ended here.

However, under the bridge for thousands of feet, the clouds and mist are entangled, and no one knows what the way to wait for the next life. The promise of the next life is just a follow-up to this life, after drinking Meng Po soup, everything has been forgotten, and the meeting in the next life is just a new beginning.

What a bridge, what a parting in the past life, how to meet in this life, but how to reunite in the next life.

Legend has it that people are reincarnated from life to life, and the end of this life is only the beginning of the next life. People who live in the cycle of life and life cannot have the memory of the past life, just because everyone will drink Meng Po soup on the Nai He Bridge before they are reincarnated.

Therefore, when walking on the Nai Ho Bridge, it is the time when a person finally has the memory of this life. At this moment, many people are still clinging to the unfulfilled wishes of their previous lives, but they deeply understand that these wishes will eventually not be realized, and they will let out a long sigh! This is also the reason why this bridge connecting the reincarnation of various lives is named Nai He Bridge.

Anyone who wants to be reincarnated must drink the soup cooked by Meng Po, and after drinking this bowl of Meng Po soup, he will completely forget everything in his previous life. Therefore, people always do not remember the events of the previous life.

There is also a legend that the soup of the bowl of Meng Po soup is the tears shed by the reincarnated person, and when he drinks it, he tastes the past one by one, and then forgets it.

At this time, Ge Lao said: Young master, do you know that the "bridge" that appears repeatedly in folk "ghost stories" is not accidental! In our opinion, it is not absurd. In Chinese folk beliefs, "ghosts" are a kind of negative supernatural beings that arise from death.

In many of the ghost tales that circulate throughout China on the earth, bridges are often haunted by ghosts, especially the ghosts of the drowned. The ghosts of those who died in the water or fell from the bridge and died always went up and down the bridge or left and right to find a substitute for themselves so that they could be reborn.

In this sense, the bridge is not only the place where the ghosts of the dead leave the underworld and are reborn into the yang world, but also the place where the new dead continue to emerge and go from the yang world to the underworld, and the alternation and transformation of life and death are realized through the bridge as an intermediary.

Many ghosts or ghosts of the unjustly killed wandered on the bridge, twisting the bridge board and causing people to fall into the water. Some kind-hearted water ghosts who can't bear to drag people into the water as stand-ins, although they can't immediately reincarnate as a human in ghost stories, they can often be promoted in the underworld, or in the end, they can always move the king of Hades, and even get the permission of the king of Hades to be reincarnated as a human.

There is a nonsense story entitled "Lu Atang", saying that there was originally a Lujia Bridge on the Lianqi River in Baoshan, the south of the bridge is the Lu family house, and the north of the bridge is the Tang family house, and the two surnames benefit this bridge, so the two sides agreed to take turns to repair the bridge in March every year.

One year, when the Lu family was repairing the bridge, unfortunately one person fell into the water and became a water ghost. In March of the following year, this water ghost dragged the Tang family's bridge repairer into the water as a stand-in, and reincarnated himself back in the yang world. Since then, when the bridge is repaired in March every year, there are always people who fall into the water and die, and people are afraid that they dare not build it again, resulting in the bridge being abandoned.

Later, there was a person named Lu Atang who joined the Lu family from the Tang family and volunteered to become a substitute for the dead, so that everyone could rest assured that they would repair the bridge. After Lu Atang became a water ghost, not only could he not bear to drag others into the water, but also blessed the bridge repairers under the bridge. As a result, he was sacrificed and offered by the surnames Lu and Tang.

Later, all those who pass by this bridge must first bow their hands at the bridge to show respect for Lu Atang before crossing the bridge. Every year until March, when the bridge is repaired, the incense that people offer to Lu Atang is more prosperous, and finally the "land" of Lu and Tang families is finally alarmed. After the land prince went to the heavenly court to sue the Jade Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor named Lu Atang as the bridge god of Luqiao and gave him a ghost fighting stick.

From then on, Lujiaqiao will be safer, even if there is a person who falls into the water, he will not be drowned, because after Lu Atang was named the god of the bridge, he devoted himself to eliminating harm for the people. Sometimes, someone is driven away by ghosts, but as long as they run to the bridge, they will be protected by the bridge god Lu Atang.

In some ghost stories about bridges, there are often episodes of female ghosts giving birth to children in the underworld and begging for food for babies on the bridge or on the bridge. There is a story about the baby who was named the bridge and later won the first prize. In addition, there are even nonsense that Hades ordered his henchman assistant Yin Cai to deal with the water ghosts, and ordered him to build a pontoon bridge for the people, so as to atone for their sins.

There is also a story about Meng Po: once upon a time there was a courtesan named Lan Rui, and she had a sister Yu Rui who was like a flower. Yurui and Ge Sheng fell in love with each other deeply, but because Ge Sheng was very poor, he couldn't afford to marry Yurui, and later Lan Rui died of illness, and Ge Sheng was martyred because he couldn't stay with Yurui for the rest of his life.

After Ge Sheng, he came to the Netherworld, and the king of Yama saw that he had died innocently, so he sentenced him to be reincarnated as a human being. After Ge Sheng heard the order, he prepared to reincarnate again. Ge Sheng walked alone in a daze, and suddenly came to the bottom of a shed covered with vines. I saw hundreds of men and women, scrambling to grab the ladle and hurriedly scoop water from the stove to drink.

Ge Sheng felt that his mouth was dry because he was tired from walking, so he also wanted to go up and drink the water in the scoop. At this time, a woman came out from behind the shed, and Ge Sheng took a closer look and saw that it was Lan Rui. Lan Rui asked him why he was here, and Ge Sheng told her 1510.

When Lan Rui found out, she whispered to Ge Sheng, "Don't you know that this is Meng Po Village? Fortunately, Meng Po went to celebrate Mrs. Kou's birthday today and ordered me to temporarily take charge of the ladle." If you, like those people, drink the ecstasy soup in this scoop, you will have no way back. When Ge Sheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy!

Later, under the guidance of Lan Rui, Ge Sheng found the old way to return to the world.

Ge Lao continued: So according to this statement, wherever there is a bridge, there are always some ghosts and resentful spirits. And they are much more energetic than anywhere else.....
